How it works
The organization operates on a membership model, where hosts pay dues to gain access to a variety of resources. These include educational workshops, regular meetings, and private online forums for sharing information and best practices.
A primary function of Mile High Hosts is advocacy; its leadership engages with local government bodies like the Denver City Council to provide input on short-term rental ordinances, licensing, and taxation. It provides a unified voice for the local hosting community, helping to shape fair and sustainable regulations.
Why it matters
